Questions & Answers

Shopper : will this lens fit on my D3100 camera?TOSIN S : Yes. This fits on APS CamerasVIRGINIA L : YES IT WILL.....That's exactly what I use it on, myself! I can't say enough good things about this lens/camera combo. I get the most wonderful shots, and the balance of the camera has remained stable. It is still a comfortable weight while shooting and while hanging on my neck. In addition, it has a little feature that I've missed in the Nikkor lenses...the telescoping lock which prevents the lens from extending by itself while the camera is hanging on my neck. That can be quite annoying, and puts the lens in a vulnerable state.... but this simple lock eliminates the problem. I highly recommend this lens.KEVIN C : Yes, this lens will work just fine on your D3100.Brian I : Absolutely. HSM allows D3100 to auto-focus.HOWARD G : Yes - this lens will fit fine on the D3100 and work well. I have used it for a few months on my D5100 and it works splendidly.WILLIAM C : yes - it works on the 3100. I use my on the D3200.
EDDIE D : EDDY: CAN THE SIGMA 18-200 BE USED IN THE NIKON 300?JEREMY G : Yes, this lens will work with any modern Nikon camera. It has a motor built in which allows it to work with camera bodies with no focus motor, as well as cameras with one.BETTY L : I use the Sigma 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 IIDC OS HSM on a Nikon D80. The questions asks can this lens be used on a Nikon 300. Does the person refer to the new Nikon D300? I do not know if it would work on the D300, but it is a fabulous lens for the D80 and D90.VIRGINIA L : Yes...it can be used on any Nikon DSLR that has a traditional Nikon mount.JB W : Yes, I use it on my D300 & D00S
Shopper : Can you explain the difference between these 2 lenses, Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR and the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS (Optical Stabilizer) HSM Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR, I have a Nikon D5100?JEREMY G : Even though the 18-250 says "MACRO" it's not a true macro lens. It WILL allow you to focus to things a little bit closer than the 18-200 but not by much.TOSIN S : The only difference between these two is in the zoom range. the 18 -250 Lens will zoom a bit further out than the 18-200 ones.JB W : Looks like the main difference is the macro & 50MM more.DINO C : Suggest you go to the Sigma website..but, one looks like a MACRO lense and one is a straight telephoto...big difference. dcANDREW R : Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS (Optical Stabilizer) HSM Zoom Lens has slightly more reach (250mm vs 200mm) and has the ability to focus closely for Macro photography.

Good value for the cost

I use the lens as my 'normal' lens; it's the one always on my Canon7D. Focus is sharp and the IS function works well. It's lighter than my old 10-200 with a filer size of 62mm vs 72mm. So far, I'm pleased with it (only used it for a month).

weighed, measured, came up lacking

I had higher hopes for this lens. The Sigma 17-70 is in my bag and is leaps and bounds better than this lens. The clarity just isn't there and I have to push my ISO in order to get the image. If it's not too late, I'm returning this lens and will do more research and save my dollars to afford a quality lens.

Perfect if you only have one lens

The optical stabilizer works beautifully, even at max zoom. This is the only lens I purchased (so far) with my DSLR. I didn't want to have to change lenses and potentially expose the sensor to dust. Perhaps later, I may want to get additional lenses for specific uses, after I've become more proficient. But this is the perfect starter lens, at a comparably good price.

switched from tamron 18-270 to this one

the price was right, and since I like to keep it to one lens when I travel , this makes a lighter , less bulky package of my canon rebel, without losing much telephoto , etc.

Very happy so far

I bought this lens to replace the very good Nikon kit lens. I wanted more zoom without having to change between the 18-55 and 55-200 and this fits the bill perfectly. So far the pictures have come out great with the limited amount I've been able to play with it so far. The construction feels sturdy enough, the auto focus is very quick and quiet and everything performs as expected. I'd suggest this lens to anyone looking for more zoom than their kit lens, or an all around travel lens.

Excellent travel lens for the money

This is my first non-canon lens. I am using it with T3i The Good - Solid build. Compact and Lightweight. Fast, accurate, and reasonably quite Auto Focus. Good IQ for the price. Zoom Range (29 - 320 for T3i) Outdoor closeups are great, it gives smooth background blur @200mm. The Bad - It creeps. It can be locked only at 18mm. Some stickiness in zoom mechanism at mid-range. F6.3 is a minor issue, It affects only if you are shooting in poor light with above 80mm zoom and Evaluative metering. Overall - Nice travel/walk-around lens.

Good carry lens

Designed exclusively for smaller APS-c size sensors A little soft at high end but all 18-200 lens share this problem. Wife uses this on her Canon 60d.

Great Lens

One wish is that it could lock at any desired Focal Length. The lens does creep to the higher focal length.

Used it from graduation. Great for finding who you want to take pictures of.

The Sigma 822306 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM lens is ideal for travel photography with a compact construction and length of just 87.7mm.

This lens features FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have the performance equal to fluorite glass and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements providing excellent correction of color aberration. This Aspherical lens gives excellent correction for all types of aberration and distortion. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring high quality images throughout the entire zoom range.

Sigma's OS (Optical Stabilizer) system offers effective correction of approximately 4 stops, enabling easy handheld photography. HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet, high-speed auto focus and the inner focus system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for using the supplied petal-type lens hood and circular polarizing filters. The rounded 7 blade diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of images.

What's in the box:

  • Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM Lens
  • Petal-Type Hood (LH680-01)
  • Sigma Warranty
